100 Posts!

Today is post #100! Today I'm going to share with you 100 things about me, like Tiffany did a few weeks ago. I was going to try to keep these chronological, but there's just no way. I've included a lot of links, but don't feel obligated to link. I just thought the links were interesting.

1. My first name is Jennifer

2. My parents caused me to always have to spell my name, since I go by Jeni - a nickname they picked out.

3. I grew up surrounded by Jennifers, so if someone calls me that, I just don't answer. It's usually not me they're looking for. It's one of the other 20 Jennifers in the room.

4. My middle name is Ann, same as my mother, same as my daughter.

5. I'm not technically an Air Force brat, since my dad didn't enter the service until I was 15 months old. But I consider myself an Air Force brat anyway, since that's how I spent my entire life.

53. We kept Wendy's name a secret until just a few days before she was born. We referred to her as "Shanequah" until then.

54. We had a scheduled C-section at 39 weeks, on 9/26/06.

55. The C-section was not a pleasant experience, but I'd go through it again in a heartbeat.

56. Wendy has been my delight, my pride and joy, and also my biggest source of frustration.

57. I am shy.

58. I am lonely.

59. I'm not good at making friends, but dream of a world where I get a couple of phone calls from friends every day, and have more on my social calendar than I can possibly do.

60. I always have great intentions, but rarely (if ever) follow through on them.

61. I am a chocoholic. I know a lot of people like chocolate, but seriously, there are times when I just have to have some chocolate.

62. I will definitely lick the spatula if I'm making cake, brownies, or cookies. (After the dough is put in to bake; I won't inflict my germs on others.) I know full well the dangers of Salmonella, etc., so I abstained while I was pregnant, but at all other times I'm a licker.

63. I love reading. Historical fiction is usually what I like, but I'll read mysteries and romances, too. Not so good with the non-fiction - I can never make it through.

Jeni,I loved reading your 100 things! You are so funny! Earle and I hardly ever get to go on dates either! But we really need to try to do it, I think we might make some or our tax return money into a "Babysitting Budget" this year!! Thanks for tagging me, but I already did this in the fall on one of my older posts, and I am sure that the people I tagged would hate me if I did it again to them!!Carrie

I also watched Animaniacs after school in high school!!and...I went to a Beth Moore seminar in Nebraska and the main focus was Phillipians 4:8. I now have that verse written on my bathroom wall with those crayola bath crayons. I see it every time I take a bath/shower.

I said something like this:Yay! I'm glad you like cats and chocolate and met your husband the way you did! My Chris is also a National Merit scholar.

We had Sydney about a month before Wendy (aka Shanequa) by c-section. She was our fourth child and first c-section.

Also, I asked if you saw the musical "chess" in Europe? I had the soundtrack and know every song by heart--the subject matter of the musical is not so good. But I love the music! "One night in Bankok" is one of the songs.

This was great to read and a great way to get to know you. I did a 200 things about me as well (which you can find on my sidebar somewhere). Thanks for stopping by earlier! I'm looking forward to getting to know you through IB!
